Great wooden Chokwe stool from DR Congo. In many cultures throughout the southeastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo the seats of leaders are important symbols of power and authority. 
The main function of the stool was not to serve as a seat, but rather as a receptacle for the chief's spirit. 
The seat of this royal Chokwe stool is supported by a kneeling ancestor figure who balance it on her head.

Good condition with a well stylized Chokwe ancestor figure holding a child on her lap.  

Shipping within 24 hours after the payment is received. Tracking number will be provided. Signature upon delivery. Fully insured. 
May as well be viewed and picked up at the Asian African Art Gallery in Vessem (NL).
